Now that the Cthulhu Wars Onslaught 3 Kickstarter is on its malevolent way (and met its goal within an hour or two of launching!), I thought it might be interesting to show off the game itself, with a few videos from various folks.

First, we have a short and sweet "how to play" video from the designer of the game himself, Sandy Peterson, sporting some very fetching suspenders:

Next up, Drive Thru Review has a nice review of the original game that doubles as a play-through video:

Here JBs Total Gaming asks the musical question, Should you buy Cthulhu Wars? (Spoiler alert: the answer is yes.)

And last but not least, Blue Table Painting has taken some of the figures and given them some really awesome paint jobs, to give you a sense of what one can do with them. That's where I think this could really pay for itself, even if you don't ever end up playing the game (but I think you will; as the above videos show, it's pretty easy, quick, and fun).

Disclosure: I was sent a bag of Cthulhu Wars figures to use in helping boost the Onslaught Three Kickstarter (you'll see them soon). I paid for the first Kickstarter and Onslaught Two myself, however, and will pay for Onslaught 3 when it launches Monday.

Hey all! I'll have a bigger CW themed post coming up later today, but I wanted to give a quick notice that the Onslaught 3 Kickstarter just went live. Please head on over there and check it out (especially check out the awesome minis!).
